To provide theoretical basis for the water-saving, high-yield and good quality cultivation techniques of drip-irrigated winter wheat, the wheat cultivar 'Xindong 22' was adopted as the test material, and five irrigation amounts including 3150 (W), 3900 (W), 4650 (W), 5400 (W) and 0 (CK) m·hm were adopted to investigate effects of drip irrigation amount on grain filling dynamics and quality traits in 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 wheat growing seasons in Xinjiang. Results indicated that the grain-filling dynamics of drip-irrigated winter wheat in different treatments presented the "S" shape curve, and accorded with the Logistic model with high fitting degree. The fast increase period of wheat grain-filling was measured at 12-20 days after anthesis. The maximum filling rate (V) increased at first and decreased later with the increase of drip irrigation amount, and was obtained in the treatment W in the two seasons, which was 2.16 g·d and 2.59 g·d , respectively. With the increase in drip irrigation amount, the bulk mass, protein content, flour extraction rate, wet gluten content, dough stability time, degree of softening, dough extension resis-tance and draw ratio of the drip-irrigated wheat firstly increased and decreased later, and the maxima of these indexes were measured in W. However, the water absorption rate and extensibility of dough initially decreased and then increased, and the minimum was obtained in the treatment of W. The sedimentation value increased gradually and the dough development time decreased progressively. Treatment W had the highest grain yield of 8913 kg·hm in 2013 and 8602 kg·hm in 2014, which was 25.0%, 14.8%, 4.4%, 35.6% and 12.4%, 2.8%, 1.1%, 33.0% higher than the treatments of W, W, W and CK in 2013 and 2014, respectively. In conclusion, drip irrigation of 4650 m·hm during the whole growing season of winter wheat could realize the target of high-yield and good quality in local natural condition.

In order to explore the water and fertilizer requirements of eggplants in the western oasis of the river, the experiment was conducted in Minle County of Gansu Province in 2022 and 2023 under three water stress gradients and three nitrogen application levels: (1) moderate water stress (W, 50-60% in field water capacity [FC]), mild water stress (W, 60-70% in FC), and full irrigation (W, 70-80% in FC); (2) low nitrogen (N, 215 kg·ha), medium nitrogen (N, 270 kg·ha), and high nitrogen (N, 325 kg·ha). Moderate and mild water stress were applied during eggplant flowering and fruiting while full irrigation was provided during the other growth stages; a control class (CK) was established with full irrigation throughout the whole plant growth without nitrogen application. This study investigated the effects of water-saving and nitrogen reduction on the yield, quality, and water-nitrogen use efficiency of eggplants in a cold and arid environment in the Hexi Oasis irrigation area of China.

Introduction: In order to elucidate the physiological mechanism of post-flowering assimilate transport regulating the formation of yields in arid regions and to provide technological support for further water-saving and high yields in the wheat region in Xinjiang, we conducted a study on the effects of different fertility periods and different degrees of drought and re-watering on the post-flowering dry matter accumulation and transport of spring wheat and the characteristics of grain filling.
Methods: In two spring wheat growing seasons in 2023 and 2024, a split-zone design was used, with the drought-sensitive variety Xinchun 22 (XC22) and drought-tolerant variety Xinchun 6 (XC6) as the main zones and a fully irrigated control during the reproductive period [CK, 75%~80% field capacity (FC)], with mild drought at the tillering stage (T1, 60%~65% FC), moderate drought at the tillering stage (T2, 45%~50% FC), mild drought at the jointing stage (J1, 60%~65% FC), and mild drought at the jointing stage (J2, 45%~50% FC) as the sub-zones.
Results: The dry matter accumulation of the aboveground parts of wheat (stem sheaths, leaves, and spikes), the transfer rate and contribution rate of nutrient organs, the maximum filling rate (V), and the mean filling rate (V) increased significantly after re-watering in the T1 treatment, and decreased with the deepening of the degree of water stress.

Microplastic pollution in agricultural soils poses a significant threat to soil quality and environmental sustainability. This study investigated the composition, abundance, distribution, ecological risk, and environmental carrying capacity of microplastic pollution in the Tarim River Basin (TRB), China. The risk quotient combined with soil environmental carrying capacity (SECC) approaches was proposed to evaluate ecological risks and soil sustainability.

Tomato (Jinglu 6335) was selected for assessing the impact of varying fertilizer (F:N-PO-KO) and aeration rates on crop quality, as well as water and fertilizer utilization efficiency during the cyclic aeration subsurface drip irrigation process. Four aeration treatments (O1, O2, O3, and S, representing aeration ratios of 16.25%, 14.

The contradiction between increased irrigation demand and water scarcity in arid regions has become more acute for crops as a result of global climate change. This highlights the urgent need to improve crop water use efficiency. In this study, four irrigation volumes were established for drip-irrigated maize under plastic mulch: 2145 m ha (W1), 2685 m ha (W2), 3360 m ha (W3), and 4200 m ha (W4).
